Hernando girl enjoys stint as U.S. Senate page
It was a summertime encounter during which Jodie Chavez met Thurgood Marshall’s grandson.
“I (also) got to become good friends with Caroline Kennedy’s son,” Chavez added. “The owner of Hyatt Hotels — her daughter was there — and they were all so nice.”

Sponsored by Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., Chavez served in the U.S. Senate page program.
